Aim
High fasting plasma glucose (HFPG) is a key risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Few studies have evaluated the CVD burden attributable to HFPG globally. It is urgent to investigate the current epidemiological pattern and past trends of CVD attributable to HFPG.
Methods
We used the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) 2019 to describe the CVD burden attributable to HFPG in 2019 and evaluate temporal trends between 1990 and 2019.
Results
Global Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) cases and death cases of HFPG-related CVD were approximately 72,591,163 and 3,763,298 in 2019, with an increase of 107.4 % and 114.6 % compared with 1990, respectively. Despite the increases, the age-standardized DALYs rate (ASDAR) and age-standardized death rate (ASDR) of HFPG-related CVD contributed to 895.2 per 100,000 people and 48.4 per 100,000 people in 2019, with an estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) of −0.22 and −0.31, respectively, from 1990. The highest ASDAR and ASDR of HFPG-related CVD were in 2019 observed in the low-middle SDI (Socio‐demographic Index) and middle-SDI regions. Low SDI and some low-middle SDI regions showed an increase in ASDAR and ASDR of HFPG-related CVD from 1990 to 2019. Males are more affected by HFPG-related CVD than females across all years. The CVD burden attributable to HFPG in the elderly are higher than those in the young in 2019. The main causes of the global CVD burden attributable to HFPG in 2019 were ischemic heart disease, stroke, and peripheral arterial disease.
Conclusion
The CVD burden attributable to HFPG remains a serious public health challenge threatening human health worldwide. It is necessary to develop more targeted and specific strategies to reduce CVD burden attributable to HFPG, especially in males, elderly, and lower SDI regions.

Aim
To evaluate the potential of the combined individual vascular histopathological lesion and serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D] level as predictors of outcomes in patients with diabetes and chronic kidney disease.
Methods
A total of 190 patients with type 2 diabetes and kidney disease stages 1–4 were retrospectively included. Kaplan-Meier analysis and the log-rank test were performed to assess renal survival differences. And the time-dependent receiver operating characteristic analyses were used to characterize the predictive accuracy. Hazard ratios for vascular lesion scores and 25(OH)D levels with renal outcomes were estimated using Cox proportional hazards regression models with follow-up time.
Results
Over a median follow-up of 23.78 (12.61, 37.14) months, 71 patients (37.4 %) experienced the renal outcomes. Enrolled patients with more severe vascular lesions had worse kidney function, heavier proteinuria, lower serum 25(OH)D levels, and higher prevalence of composite kidney outcomes. Baseline serum 25(OH)D was a significant independent risk factor for vascular lesion scores. The effect of serum 25(OH)D level on kidney prognosis was more pronounced in males and those with more exacerbated vascular lesions (score 2). The severity of vascular lesions and serum 25(OH)D levels were associated with unfavorable kidney outcomes. Accordingly, further time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curves confirmed that combined 25(OH)D level and vascular lesion score had a stable and reliable performance in renal outcomes prediction at short and long-term follow-up times.
Conclusions
25(OH)D level and vascular lesion scores in kidney histopathology could serve as a useful risk-stratification tool for predicting renal progression in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Although body weight reduction is recommended to ameliorate nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, the effects of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) variability on newly achieved remission of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) remain unclear. We aimed to investigate the longitudinal association between BMI and WC variabilities and newly achieved MAFLD remission in both sexes.
Methods
Among 26,952 patients, 1823 with MAFLD diagnosed by ultrasonography and with >2 health checkups over >2 years from April 2014 to March 2021 were included in this observational cohort study. A generalized estimation equation model analyzed the association between BMI and WC and newly achieved MAFLD remission according to repeated measures at baseline and the most recent stage.
Results
Rates of MAFLD remission in male and female patients were 7.4 % and 6.0 %, respectively. Regarding decreased BMI variability, newly achieved MAFLD remission prevalence among the subgroups differed significantly between sexes (p < 0.001). In male patients, a decrease in BMI variability of ≥1.5 kg/m2 and WC variability of ≥4.2 cm had adjusted odds ratios (ORs) of 5.215 and 2.820, respectively, for newly achieved MAFLD remission. Among female patients, regular exercise and breakfast consumption were accelerating factors for newly achieved MAFLD remission. Non-invasive liver fibrosis scores significantly differed between MAFLD and newly achieved MAFLD remission, including in the subgroups (p < 0.01 and p < 0.001, respectively).
Conclusions
Reducing BMI and WC variabilities in male patients and improving lifestyle habits in female patients may accelerate MAFLD remission.

Aims
The clinical utility of waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) in predicting cardiometabolic risk factors (CMRFs) and subclinical markers of cardiovascular disease remains controversial. We aimed to compare the utility of WHtR with waist circumference (WC) and body mass index (BMI) in identifying children and adolescents (youths) at risk for cardiometabolic outcomes, including clustered CMRFs, high carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), and arterial stiffness (assessed as high pulse wave velocity, PWV).
Methods
We analyzed data from 34,224 youths (51.0 % boys, aged 6–18 years) with CMRFs, 5004 (49.5 % boys, aged 6–18 years) with cIMT measurement, and 3100 (56.4 % boys, aged 6–17 years) with PWV measurement from 20 pediatric samples across 14 countries.
Results
WHtR, WC, and BMI z-scores had similar performance in discriminating youths with ≥3 CMRFs, with the area under the curve (AUC) (95 % confidence interval, CI)) ranging from 0.77 (0.75–0.78) to 0.78 (0.76–0.80) using the modified National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) definition, and from 0.77 (0.74–0.79) to 0.77 (0.74–0.80) using the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) definition. Similarly, all three measures showed similar performance in discriminating youths with subclinical vascular outcomes, with AUC (95 % CI) ranging from 0.67 (0.64–0.71) to 0.70 (0.66–0.73) for high cIMT (≥P95 values) and from 0.60 (0.58–0.66) to 0.62 (0.58–0.66) for high PWV (≥P95 values).
Conclusions
Our findings suggest that WHtR, WC, and BMI are equally effective in identifying at-risk youths across diverse pediatric populations worldwide. Given its simplicity and ease of use, WHtR could be a preferable option for quickly screening youths with increased cardiometabolic risk in clinical settings.

The Indian Diabetes Risk Score (IDRS) is a simple tool to assess the probability of an individual having type 2 diabetes (T2DM) but its applicability in community-dwelling older adults is lacking. This study aimed to estimate the risk of T2DM and its determinants among older adults without prior diabetes (DM) using the IDRS, while also assessing its sensitivity and specificity in individuals with a history of diabetes.
Methods
We analyzed cross-sectional data from the Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI) wave-1 (2017-18). IDRS was calculated amongst individuals aged ≥45 years considering waist circumference, physical activity, age and family history of DM. Risk was categorized as high (≥60), moderate (30–50), and low (<30).
Results
Among 64541 individuals, 7.27 % (95 % CI: 6.78, 7.80) were at low risk, 61.80 % (95 % CI: 60.99, 62.61) at moderate risk, and 30.93 % (95 % CI: 30.19, 31.67) at high risk for T2DM. Adjusted analysis showed higher risk of T2DM among men, widowed/divorced, urban residents, minority religions, overweight, obese, and individuals with hypertension. ROC curve yielded an AUC of 0.67 (95 % CI: 0.66, 0.67, P < 0.001). The IDRS cutoff ≥50 had 73.69 % sensitivity and 51.40 % specificity for T2DM detection.
Conclusion
More than 9 in 10 older adults in India without history of DM have high-moderate risk of T2DM when assessed with the IDRS risk-prediction tool. However, the low specificity and moderate sensitivity of IDRS in existing DM cases constraints its practical utility as a decision tool for screening.

Aims
We aimed to prospectively evaluate the association of sarcopenic obesity (SO) with the incidence risk of heart failure (HF), and the mediating role of metabolomics and inflammation in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Methods
22,496 participants with T2D from the UK Biobank were included. SO was defined as the combination of obesity (body mass index ≥30 kg/m2) and sarcopenia (grip strength <27 kg in male or <16 kg in female). The incident HF was identified through linked hospital records. Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to estimate the associations. Mediation analysis was conducted to evaluate the mediating effect of the “metabolomic risk score” of HF, which was derived from 168 plasma metabolites through LASSO regression, and five inflammatory markers (e.g., C-reactive protein [CRP] level) on the aforementioned associations.
Results
1946 (8.7 %) participants developed HF during a median follow-up of 12.0 years. Compared to participants with neither obesity nor sarcopenia, those with obesity & non-sarcopenia (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.80, 95 % confidence interval [CI]: 1.62, 2.00), sarcopenia & non-obesity (HR: 1.90, 95 % CI: 1.56, 2.31) and SO (HR: 2.29, 95 % CI: 1.92, 2.73) showed a higher risk of HF. The metabolomic risk score (20.0 %) and CRP (20.4 %) meditated this association.
Conclusions
SO was associated with an increased risk of HF in people with T2D and metabolomics and inflammation partially mediated this association. Our findings suggest the importance of managing obesity and muscle strength simultaneously in preventing HF among people with T2D and shed light on the underlying mechanisms.

Background
Epidemiological studies have consistently demonstrated a high prevalence of concurrent autoimmune diseases in individuals with Graves' disease (GD).
Objective
The objective of this study is to establish a causal association between GD and autoimmune diseases.
Methods
We employed a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) to infer a causal association between GD and five autoimmune diseases, namely rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Crohn's disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), in the East Asian and European population. Genetic correlations were explored through linkage disequilibrium score regression analysis (LDSC). Finally, colocalization analyses were performed to investigate possible genetic foundations.
Results
Bidirectional MR analysis indicated that genetically predicted GD increased the risk of RA (Odds Ratio (OR): 1.34, 95 % Confidence Interval (CI): 1.21 to 1.47, P < 0.001) and SLE (OR: 1.21, 95%CI: 1.08 to 1.35, P < 0.001) in the East Asian population. In contrast, we found that genetically predicted RA (OR: 1.14, 95%CI: 1.05 to 1.24, P = 0.002) and SLE (OR: 1.10, 95%CI: 1.03 to 1.17, P = 0.003) were associated with a higher risk of GD. The results have been partially validated in European cohorts. Colocalization analysis suggested the potential existence of shared causal variants between GD and other autoimmune diseases. In particular, gene ARID5B may play an important role in the incidence of autoimmune diseases.
Conclusion
This study has confirmed that GD was associated with RA and SLE and found a possible key gene ARID5B. It may be necessary to strengthen detection to prevent the occurrence of comorbidities in clinical practice.

Background and aims
Thyroid hormones are important regulators of hepatic lipid homeostasis and whole-body energy expenditure. Recent evidence suggests that euthyroid individuals with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) develop intrahepatic hypothyroidism that promotes progression of MASH.
Methods
A literature search was performed with Medline (PubMed), Scopus and Google Scholar electronic databases from inception till March 2024, using the following keywords: hypothyroidism and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease; MASLD and thyroid function; intrahepatic hypothyroidism; TRβ agonists; and resmetirom. Relevant studies were extracted that described pathogenesis of MASH in the context of thyroid functions.
Results
In euthyroid individuals with MASH, there is decreased conversion of prohormone thyroxine (T4) to bioactive tri-iodothyronine (T3) and increased conversion of T4 to inactive metabolite reverse T3 (rT3). Consequently, reduced levels of T3 results in impaired intrahepatic TRβ signaling, a state of intrahepatic hypothyroidism, which promotes progression of MASH. Hepatic TRβ activation leads to metabolically beneficial effects in the liver including mitochondrial fatty acid uptake and β-oxidation, mitochondrial biogenesis, increasing surface low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor density and lowering of circulatory LDL-cholesterol. In recent years, selective thyroid hormone mimetics that exhibit TRβ-selective binding and liver-selective uptake have been designed. Resmetirom, a liver-specific thyromimetic, improves intrahepatic TRβ signaling and in clinical trials significantly improved liver inflammation, fibrosis and lipid profile in patients with MASH.
Conclusions
In euthyroid individuals with MASH, development of intrahepatic hypothyroidism results in further progression of the disease. In clinical trials, resmetirom treatment results in a significant improvement in steatosis, inflammation and fibrosis and is the first drug approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of noncirrhotic MASH with moderate to advanced fibrosis.

Objective
To compare the clinical outcomes of intensive glucose control and liberal glucose control for septic patients in intensive care unit.
Methods
The databases of PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase and Web of Science were searched systematically from inception to November 27, 2023 to identify trials involving a randomized comparison between intensive and liberal glucose control for septic patients in intensive care unit.
Results
A total of 14 randomized controlled trials involving 6226 patients were finally included. There was no statistically significant difference observed between intensive glucose control and liberal glucose control in terms of all-cause mortality, the need for renal replacement, vasopressor-free and mechanical ventilation-free days, and length of hospital stay. However, it is noteworthy that intensive glucose control exhibited a statistically higher risk of severe hypoglycemia (RR 2.66; 95%CI 1.85 to 3.83), need for blood transfusion (RR 1.12; 95%CI 1.01 to 1.23), and statistically prolonged length of stay in the ICU (MD 1.67; 95%CI 0.22 to 3.12) compared to liberal glucose control. Nevertheless, sensitivity analysis revealed that the need for blood transfusion and length of stay in the intensive care unit were not robust.
Conclusions
Both intensive and liberal glucose control had comparable effects on improving patient outcomes, but intensive glucose control carried a higher risk of severe hypoglycemia.

The aim was to explore the effect of lifestyle modification in a real world situation to prevent the progression to diabetes in India.
Methods
Participants who underwent OGTT from August 2017–2022 and were diagnosed as having Prediabetes (n = 200) were assigned into control (group1, n = 100) received standard care and intervention (group2, n = 100) received intensive counseling on physical activity (PA) and diet. PA included walking for 150 min/week and personalized advice based on the profession. OGTTs were repeated once every 6 months for 5 years and primary outcome was development of DM.
Results
The conversion rate was significantly higher in the control group than the intervention group (44.6 vs.7.9 %, p < 0.0001). Individuals who reverted back to normal was significantly higher in Group2 compared to Group1 (34.9 vs.6.2 %; p < 0.001). A significant increase in weight, BMI and waist circumference in group1 and significant reduction in glucose and HbA1c was noted in group2. Mean (95%CI) survival time for Group1 was 25.4 (20.8–29.9) and Group2 was 36.4months (32.6–40.1; p < 0.001). The factors which influenced the conversion of prediabetes to DM were averaged BMI, fasting and 2hr glucose levels of all follow up visit measurements.
Conclusion
We can prevent diabetes in individuals with prediabetes using real world strategies in India.
